Morning denizens

Last night’s rain continues, but is expected to peter out in a couple of hours. It’s 15°C (“feels like” 11°) and the expected high is only 18°; the barometers are, as might be expected, down at 990/997mB

This morning has brought confirmation that there are three young magpies! They were just down on the lawn with both parents, being taught how to ignore those two squirrels zooming around over there like idiots and concentrate on pecking at whatever it is they peck at

[WTFH]

Morning all
Heavy rain yesterday evening and overnight to the point that the pond is half full (most of the water coming from the summerhouse roof). Have inspected the new shed and it is dry inside.
Sun was out earlier, but there are more dark clouds on the way in.
The garden is appreciating the rain, as are the farmers round here.

Morning.

Tuesday?

Damp.

Grey.

Sunless.

20.1 deg in here, 20 in the kitchen, 18 in the leanto.

998 mBar, 29.47 in Hg, 748.6 Torr, 14.4748 psi, (down from 1000 last night), 66% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 28th of March 2020 Brillo popped in, along with BR14 and LM, whilst I was watching yet more Sherlock Holmes and mentioning Belker's dad's Al Zheimers disease and the tinned pineapple, whereas NF had placed his order via the interweb but the Chinese suppliers hadn't noticed said order & he had to wait anyway. So not quite reaching the 21st century after all. . But Janet sorted it out.

Awakened unbidden at 05:50 yet afeckinggain, so read more of book until the need to arise arose and I got up.

In The Middle Kingdoms, the rise of scientific understanding has inevitably given rise to all kinds of pseudoscience, including eugenics and phrenology. Meanwhile, Bismarck finally got on the imperial gravy train. Put these things together and it ends up being an extremely bad time to be a native of German South West Africa. But now it’s 1914, so the mess he made of the Balkans is about to spill over, starting in Sarajevo

It started raining from time to time here this afternoon. Since then, the wind’s got up, and the rain seems to have settled in for the night

Goodnight all

Really nice old fart meet up at ancient house. Sat near some people I know, unlike last one. Wandered enormous garden afterwards, 3 big lakes!

[NickFitz]

Ribs and chips for tea

To accompany this, E2 of Legends which is developing nicely

There’s a parade of shops on an estate in Liverpool (or supposed to be) in there which is the absolute spit of the shops I used to walk to school through when I was very young. Can’t be the same ones as they were knocked down years ago, along with the maisonettes

Ah yes, little Bobby Tables

I was thinking of Little Bobby Tables, but SQL Injection is taken care of by Django so I didn't have to check for that case. I thought of including him just for the fun of it though

Ah yes, little Bobby Tables

Lunch has been a Pukka sausage roll

I’ve been dealing with data validation stuff this morning, so I’ve been writing tests for weird names such as “Null”

I got a few additional ideas from These unlucky people have names that break computers

[NickFitz]

Links are up

[ladymuck]

^^ strong sense of deja-vu with DrS's post yesterday; must be the "Al Zeimer's"



Morning all

Bright and sunny, dry, but cloudy. Currently 18 degrees with a high of 21 expected. There's a chance of rain but looks more likely overnight. Barometer at 1016 mBar.

Sunrise 04:50; Sunset 21:09 BST

Slept quite well, now with the summer duvet on. Still tired though.

Morning.

Monday.

Wet. Remarkably wet.

Grey. As grey as a 's arse.

Sunless.

Misty. Can just about see the other side of the valley over by there boyo.

Drizzly.

20.5 deg in here, 21.5 in the kitchen, 19 in the leanto.

1008.5 mBar, 29.78 in Hg, 756.4 Torr, 14.63 psi, (down from 1011 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 28th of March 2020 vetran built a shed and enjoyed an inherited rioja, whilst BR14 watched HSB & related well to Belker (whose dad had "Al Zeimer's disease" in one of the eps), LM had a chicken & leak pie, and NF placed his first interweb order with the Chinese, whilst, of course, Brillo popped in. (as per yesterday).

Today's dream before waking seemed to involve working somewhere again and being lost in that Swansea & unable to find my way to the station/car/whatever. I'm sure it's all deeply meaningless.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away. Finally realised that the way to get over the £30/£35 bonus thingie is to buy more cheese and corned beef. .

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Mangain & his sister waffling on about sibling rivalry. Soemthing about a nurse and London gangs <click>.

Remember when watching HSB and all the street gangs in that & thinking "well that doesn't happen here". . Long Long Ago and Far Far Away. It was all fields around here then. And David Caruso looked young.

Book.

Baim Collection: Margate. Though for some reason this included a trip to that France. .

Chuchill's Toy Factory: MD1: destroyed by the Ministry of Supply after Churchill's election loss & the end of WWII.

UFO bollox on Blaze: UK UFOs: Rendlesham forest starred.

Tea: chicken in white sauce etc. Entertainment: 18 o'clock news.

Skinwalker Ranch. S6 E13 "Fire in the holes". Odd ceramic stuff out of the mesa. Setting off big feck off explosions to make smoke rings. The usual tech problems with stuff doing things it's never done anywhere else. Last experiment of the season.

NCIS S22 E20 "Nexus". No indication if it's 6 or 7. EOS: only 20 eps this season.

Looks like I went shopping at the right time since it's been hammering down all afternoon & it's not taking any prisoners. Rivers flowing down the gutters as is only rite and proper, like. .

[WTFH]

Morning all
Dawn chorus at 04:21
Got up 05:28
Been clouding over since then, good job we had a big walk this morning as it's due to start raining in a couple of hours.

Sunny spells but largely cloudy at the moment, and it’s expected to veer more towards the cloudiness, with rain likely from teatime through the night and into tomorrow morning; it seems that this will be more along the lines of steady rain than showers. It’s 15°C (“feels like” 11°) and the expected high is a mere 19°, but the barometers are only down a whisker at 1002/1010mB

[NickFitz]

Today’s wildlife stuff wasn’t exclusively Attenborough for a change. But there was a good film of his about penguins

Later, I watched Surgeons: At the Edge of Life

And in The Middle Kingdoms, Bismarck has managed to unify a fair amount of Germany but left the Balkans in a complete mess, which will have reverberations for a long time to come

Monday again tomorrow, but what can you do?

Goodnight all
